2008 Worldwide Brick

Office for SAHRDC

Architect: Anagram Architects
Brickwork contractor: SK Builders
Brick: FPS Brick Class Designation 75: Burnt Clay Bricks

This category produced some outstanding buildings but the Judges were unanimous that this amazing example of sub-tropical patterned brickwork should take the prize. The pattern was devised by a close collaboration between the Architects and the Contractors. It is based on a six brick module laid in staggered courses to create the vertical stacks and undulating surface.  Imagination, ingenuity and precision combine to produce an outstanding result.
